“Kyle took excellent care of Louie, our 12 year old tuxedo cat, while we are travelling. We made a very last minute appointment for two 60 minute drop-in visits. Kyle was very accommodating, responsive and punctual. He made sure Louie's feeder and litter box were set up properly and water fountain topped off. We received detailed notes from his visit with great photos of our cat. We'd happily hire him again in the future, and would highly recommend his services. Thanks Kyle!!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life! A current cat owner to 2 fur babies, but such a dog lover as well! From Dachshunds to German Shepard, tabby cats and turtles, there’s not an animal I don’t love. I will make sure to treat your pet as if it was my own and provide the communication you need to feel assured your baby is taken care of! I work in the evenings, giving me plenty of time to help out during the daytime for people in-office/working a 9-5. Especially if you’re in the neighborhood, I’d love to pop by and give them some mid-day love I have two cats if my own that are my whole life! I understand the anxiety of entrusting someone else with their care. I will make sure to always follow instructions to a T and always provide photos and other communication to make sure you as a pet owner feel relaxed and reassured!
“I feel so fortunate to have gotten to work with Tracy multiple times now. She truly is THE BEST and goes above and beyond!!! I’m incredibly grateful for her and how well she takes care of our cats.”
About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away! I have experience cat-sitting and regularly caring for my roommate’s cat when she’s out of town. I enjoy playing with him, giving him plenty of cuddles and attention, and keeping him entertained—even turning on the TV so he can watch bugs jumping around! I’ve also helped walk and look after my neighbors’ dogs, spending time playing with them and keeping them company. Whether it’s going for a walk, having a little playtime, giving lots of affection, or simply hanging out together, I love making sure pets get the attention and companionship they need. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel comfortable and loved. Hi my schedule is very flexible! I am able to make time to care for your pets anytime! I am also available on weekends. Please let me know what works best for you. I’d be happy to care for pets in their home by keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I can provide fresh food and water, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and comfortable and give them lots of love and attention while their owner is away.
“Amanda is fantastic! She was so attentive and caring for my 2 kitties while I was out of town. She’s very responsive, sent lots of pics and I can tell she truly cares about their well being. Def recommend & I will book her again in the future! Thanks Amanda!”
“Nancy was on time, reliable, and kept great communication. She gave my pup special attention, followed all instructions, and even went out of her way to keep them relaxed and feeling safe.”
About: Whether it’s my own dog, or my roommate’s two cats, animals are a huge part of my life. Pair that with my love of fitness, and dog walking is a natural favorite of mine. In my full-time work as a speech therapist, I get to take care of little humans, and just know that I’ll bring the same care & attention to your furry children. I work during the school year with children of all ages. During the summer, I hope to spend it with your pets! Spending time with your animals will support my goal of getting outside and helping others all summer long. I live in a walkable neighborhood close to a large park! I ensure that all traffic and safety laws are abided by when traveling with your pet(s). My focus is on maintaining the needs of your animal, while remaining alert about other pets that may be nearby to ensure all are happy and safe.
“Emily did a great job looking after our cat! She was communicative prior to the start of the booking, and great with managing the details. During her stay, I got lots of great updates and photos which were much appreciated. I would absolutely use her services again!”

Love just being around animals. I also sometimes Foster kittens/cats for a local animal shelter. My work from home job is flexible enough that I am able to fit pet care into normal 9 to 5 hours.

“Anastasia was great to work with! She was super accommodating and flexible when we needed to find a Rover for a last minute trip. She was very communicative and thoughtful throughout her visits. 😊”
About: I’ve been a dog Mom for 13 years, and since my most recent dog passed last year I have loved sitting for friend’s dogs and playing auntie to neighborhood dogs! I care for all fur babies like they are my own children, giving them lots of love, pets, cuddles, playtime and zoomie initiations. I am very active and love to run with more athletic dogs, or be more restful with older dogs that just need a good companion when their pawrents are away. I work from home and have flexibility to sit in the mornings, lunchtime and in the early evenings. I love long walks, but also happy to find the nearest dog park and sit while the dogs play I live in a 3-story townhome with a shared community yard that is quiet and protected from the street. I do not have a crate in my home, but plenty of space to keep one in the bedroom. Also happy to have any sweet fur baby in the bed or on the love seat in the bedroom
“Can definitely recommend Diana for cat sitting! She was patient, gentle, and attentive with my cat, and took the time to let her warm up at her own pace. I felt very comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands while I was away. Would happily book with her again!”

Lily did a great job watching my cat, Bogey! She writes very detailed notes, sends lots of pictures and follows instructions to a T! She even went the extra mile watering my plant that she saw looked wilted and took out the trash. I can rest easy on vacation when I know Bogey is in Lily’s care! Thank you so much!
Could not speak more highly of Jenin!! She is incredibly thoughtful, empathetic, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Her notes were fun to read but also provided the essential information to know that my cat was safe, healthy and happy. Lots of photos were appreciated! Would definitely recommend Jenin 10x over!
This is our third time booking with Sarah and we couldn’t be happier with her services! She takes excellent care of our two cats, even our skittish boy is in love with her. We look forward to her photos and stories of our kitties after each visit. Highly recommend Sarah to care for your pets!
Chassity took amazing care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was great with both cats, followed our instructions to a t, and kept us consistently updated with photos and the rover card for every visit. It allowed us to enjoy our vacation more knowing that Louie and Vuitton were well taken care of.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
